    Metro Morning: CBC Radio Toronto Monday, February 13, 2012: 7:12 a.m. Interview with John Stapleton by host Matt Galloway MATT GALLOWAY The gap between the rich and the poor in this city is much broader than just the 1% versus the 99%. In fact, according to a new report by the Metcalf Foundation, that gap is getting wider across the GTA and those who are a part of the working poor are more numerous than perhaps even before the 2008 recession This study looks at the working poor and people who have a job, perhaps even more than one but make less then what used to be called the poverty line. John Stapleton is one of the co-authors of the study. He’s with me in studio now. Good morning. JOHN STAPLETON Good morning Matt. MATT GALLOWAY Much of what you do in this report initially defines that term, the working poor. So, from your perspective, what is the working poor? JOHN STAPLETON Well, we had to come up with a new and resilient definition and anyone who has over $3,000.00 in earnings, we said that is a threshold for the working poor and then we took ‘what is known’ as the low income measure, the Stats Canada poverty line that varies by family size, and let’s say that for a single person right now that’s about $18,500 after tax. MATT GALLOWAY $18,500? JOHN STAPLETON Yes. MATT GALLOWAY And again, these are people who are working at one or more jobs.

Doucet, Ph.D. March 2004 Vol. 5, No. 1 Ontario Universities, the Double Cohort, and the Maclean’s Rankings: The Legacy of the Harris/Eves Years, 1995-2003 Executive Summary The legacy of the Harris/Eves governments from 1995-2003 was to leave Ontario’s system of public universities tenth and last in Canada on many critical measures of quality, opportunity and accessibility. If comparisons are extended to American public universities, Ontario looks even worse. The impact of this legacy has been reflected in the Maclean’s magazine rankings of Canadian universities, which have shown Ontario universities, with a few notable exceptions, dropping in relation to their peers in the rest of the country. Elected in 1995 on a platform based on provincial income tax cuts of 30 per cent and a reduction in the role of government, the Progressive Conservative government of Premier Mike Harris set out quickly to alter the structure of both government and government services. Most government departments were ordered to produce smaller budgets, and the Ministry of Education and Training was no exception. Universities were among the hardest hit of Ontario’s transfer-payment agencies, with budgets cut by $329.1 million between 1995 and 1998, for a cumulative impact of $2.3 billion by 2003.

The discussion about care and interpretation of Indigenous collections, particularly those held in trust by non- Indigenous organizations, is an important one that the OMA would like to facilitate among the more than 700 museum and heritage institutions in Ontario. We hope that this will be an ongoing conversation in which the OMA, our members, and Indigenous communities in Ontario will continue to engage going forward.
